The stcamer Hibernia, with ene week's later intelligence from Europe, is due at Halifax to-day, and will probably arrive there before to-morrow, We shall receive her news, as usual, by express and telegraph, und shail lay it before our readers, in an extra Herald, as soon as possible. Union of the Vemocrats—Alarm of the Whigs. The whig newspapers in the city of New York, and elsewhere, watched with intense interest the split which was made in the democratic ranks, by the ingenuity of ex-President Van Buren, for the purpose of deft gsmy General Cass, the nominee of the Daltimore Convention, in the last presidential election, and did allin their power to widen the breach betwees the two factions. No artifice or appliance that could tend to promote the rupture and augment the hostile feeling that existed between them, was omitted, and they had the satisfaction of seeing the canvass pase over with- out the slightest chance of a union of the democra- tie forces taking place. The result is well known. General Cuts was defeated, and General Taylor was trumphantly elected. 3 Soon after the result of that struggle became known, and the dust and smoke of the presidential battle haa cleared away with the excitement at- tending it, deliberation and cool judgment began to assert their supremacy once more in the demo- cratic bret After surveying the shattered eon- r forces, and the improbability that stared them in the fuce of their getting even a sop from the national soup-pot, the two rival factions of the democracy accused each other as the cause of their joint troubles and misfortunes, and blamed each other, in no measured terms, for bringing about the deplorable prospect which was before them.— After exhausting the vocabulary of crimination, they commenced inquiring of each otherthe best way in which to retrieve their pesition, and reco- ver the spoils wh they lost in the struggle between themselves. Messages, professing peace and love, and urging harmony and union, have been, of late, frequently interchanged between them; and the fact is now developed, that the Sth Bisnor Hugues, Massa Griecer, anp THE “ Perer-vence.”’—It will be seen, by reference toa documenton the first page of our journal te-day, that our ancient and eminently respectable friend and coadjutor in the great business of civilization, John Hughes, Bishop of Basileopolis, has just come out with another letter in the newspapers. St. Hughes beats St. Ignatius honvself all to pieces in the mat- ter of writing «> « He is an immense epistola- ry genius. His tant effort, in this way, is levelled at one of his former friends—one of his most par- ticular fnends—one of his dearest friends—Massa Grecley himself. This is really alarming. The quarrel is about the “ Peter-pence.”” Greeley at- tempts to throw cold water on the whole pious procedure, He issues his mandate against the collection; and thus raises a direct issue with the Bishop. Our readers will be able to judge for themselves with regard to the tone, spirit and ge- neral scope of the Bishop’s rejoinder. It is more in the style of Luther than of Paul; yet, as a whole, it may pass muster well enough as a specimen of ecclesiastical composition, ‘True, it wants the meekness of St. Doane, of New Jersey, but then it has a degree of tartness almost worthy of St. Xantippe herself. ‘As to the subject matter of thi troversy between these two personages, we have not much tosay. We have all along advocated the collection of the efferings ot the faithful in aid of his euflering Holiness, Pope Pius the Ninth, As St. Hughes pathetically reminds the Christian world, Popes are human, and must eat; they are decent, and ought to be clud. Popes, cardinals, bishops, priests, friars, of ull orders and colors and degrees of merit, require a greater or less amount of this world’s goods. The Pope is in exile. He may be in want. He needs the ministrations of the fuithful. Let him have them Let the * Peter’ pence” be poured into the lap of his Holiness, even as the gold dust of the placers flows into the fists, pockets, sifters, and bags of the respectable diggers who are to found a new church and state in lovely California. Let every box in every pew in every Cathehe church of New York be loaded next Sunday with the “ Peter-pence.” But, at the same time, let the “ Peter-pence” be appropriately and legitimately applied. We are willing to subscribe liberally, so that his Holiness, the amiuble and pions man who now blesses Gaeta with his presence, ay, if he so desves it, be clothed in fine linen and purple, and fare sumptuously every day; but we are not willing that any nice little plot of intriguing men, ecclesiastical or profane, should be aided by the funds thus obtained from the sympaties and religious feeling of the people of the Catholic church. ‘The best plan, then, will be for Bishop Hughes to give good and satisfactory bonds that the ‘ Peter- penee” will not be converted into weapons to be directed against the Roman people. No doubt our night reverend friend will readily find acceptable securities, ulthough his excellent friend, Greeley, has been sent adrift. In this case, we demand only what was required in the case of the sale of the * United States’ steamship to the German govern- ment. But let us have immense bags full of the * Peter-pence.”” astounding con- Recognition oy THE Roman anp Ilungartan Rurvstics.—The course which the President and his cabinet will probably pursue in regard to the recognition of the new Roman republic by the United States, 1s beginnimg to occupy a good share of public sttention, and we have no doubt that it will scon be discussed by the newspaper journala of all parties. The recognition of [Iungary, too, is discussed a good deal in private circles, and that, of September next is appointed for a pow-wow, for the purpose ef consulting together and uniting their forces. A union between the two factions being now probable, the whig journals and politicians are getting alarmed. They announce that the united democracy have determined to make a fierce on- slaught on the administration of General Taylor, and are resolved to make a formidable opposition to itin every shupe and form. They are exceeding- ly alarmed, and well they may be. Hut we can tell them in all candor and sincerity, that the danger which threatens the adménistration from the union of the disjointed forces of the demooratic party im this and other Stater, isnot half so imminent as that which it muy expect from his prefessed friends, the whige themselves. ‘They have @ candidate, the prestigé of whose name— whose popularity—whese hold on to the af- fections ot the people, North, South, Last and West, is deep and ferven'—whose integrity and loftiness of character would almoet make @ minority domi- nayt—who has been triumphantly elected, not by whigs alone, but by me. of all parties; and what position do they present?” They are divided into cliquea and factions, each pulling a different way, and each determined to rule the administration and tide over all opposing influences, no matter what the cost may be. Theres a coterie 1n one place, pre- sided over by its leader; another im another place, controlled in a similar way—each struggling for office and ascendency. The organs of these cliques occasionully even go se far as to threaten to ‘T'y- lerize the President in case their behests are not complied with. This has been their conduct since the inauguration, and where it will end no one can predic ‘The whigs had better examine within their own precincts for the eaure of alarm which they now gkarge arives from the unica of the bunker and free-coil factions of the demoeratie party. Let them lock for the beam in their own eye, and if they look sharply they will find it—they will as certain that the administration of General Taylor has more to fear trom its professed friends than from its avowed enemies. ‘The whigs have a fair and noble field before them. With ordivary pra- dence and sagacity, they have a chance ef main- taining control of the federal government for a quarter of a century to come; but they will never realize it unlese their numerous wilenced, and their voices hushed. “An Epiton in Luck wvery now and then we cee a paragraph in the papers informing us of um editor being in luck, esther by some wealiuy old Spanish wunt shufiling off her mortal coil and leaving him a handeome fortune, by last will and testament, or by being appointed to some lucrative office by the new administration, with a handsome salary attached to it. We are glad to see that the venerable gentleman who officiated in the important position of organ- grinder to the late administration, has met with a windfall. Mr Ritehie has labored long and hard im the service of his country, or rather of his party—but we suppose they are synonymous with him—and certainly is deserving of some token of gratitude, if we do not wish practically to prove the old maxim, that republics are umgrate- ful. Such a memorial has been presented. It is in the form of a resolution, passed by a meeting of democrats in Mississippi, and the complimentary manner in which it is couched induges us to give atin full. Here goes:— Resolved, That we hereby tender to Thomas Ritoble, Req , editor of the Union, our grateful acknowledge mente for bis able, untiring and feitbful guardisoship of the coastitution and the rights of the pooplo; wad eapecially for the seasouable, merited and dignitiod oastigations inflicted by hie pen, upon tho author of broken pledges. and hie agents amd counsellors in the work of proscriptive death. Well may Father Ritchie be proud of thus token of gratitude, and we hope it will make him forget the trifling changes which overtook him in the management of the Union, since tho installation of the new President. If we estimate the loss which he has suffered by being relieved of the government patronage at one hundred thousand dollars, and value thie excruciatingly fine resolu- tion at one hundred and fifty thousand, we shail soe that Mr. Ritchie has gained a clear fifty thou- sand (im glory) by being presented with it. What tei Le ae eles ak las WE next lamer : wie lot eosin batik ae tb {| det} ben Cantouio va the fret instant, hkewise, will soon be mentioned publicly. It is argued ‘by those who favor the great movement now going on in Europe—and we need hardly say that they comprise nine-tenths of the people of the United Statee—that the French republic was recog- nized immediately after it was formed, and that the game course should be adopted towards Hun- gary and Rome. There is a good deal of sound truth in this ; but we are satisfied that the subject has not escaped the attention of the cabinet at Washington. From information which we have received from an authentic souree, we think we are safe in saying that General Taylor and his ca- binet have considered this subject in all its bear- ings, and that the republice of Hungary and Rome will be recognized by our government, at the earliest moment that it is expedient or decorous todoso. France was not engaged in a war threa- tening her existenee as a nation when the republie ‘was firet proclaimed ; but that is not the case with either Hungary or Rome. At the last accounts that we received from Europe, a large French force was encamped in the immediate vicinity of Rome, awaiting reinforeements and instructions,—and the Hungarians were still fighting, and suc- cesfully, too, for their republic. Nor hae the adminietration, as we are informed, received any official communication from either Hungary or Rome, with tidinge of a republie having been established in cach, nor any request in an official form, to be recognized as republice by the United States, from either. We are confident the course that will be adopted in this matter by the adminis tration, will be eatisfactory, and that their policy will be a recognition of both these young republics at the carliest practicable moment ; and not only that, but the President will recommend Congress to send full ministers to each of those places, and treat both with as much dignity, respect and con- sideration as we do the most powerful nation. Tax Lata Prestoeyt Pow have read the comments made by almost every newspaper in the country, on the death of Mr. Polk, ex-President of the United States, and we are happy to say that, with but one or two excey- ions, they were marked with a proper spirit, and were in every respect worthy of our country, and reflected credit on the American press. Mr. Polk ¢ bie failings and his merits, lke all other mortals; but he eonducted an administration that form an era in the history of the United Statee. Even if he had no merits at all, the man who would atteck and villify him before bis remaine were cold, and almost before his breath fuiled, is a dastard, and unworthy of being allowed to associate with reepeetable people. No person but one porsessing the heart of ademon would do it; and right glad are we, that among the multi- tude of papers, of all parties, in this widely ex- tended country, but one or two have been base enough to follow the remains of the deceased ex- President to the grave, and villify his name while the rites ef burial were being performed, We pball not name the paper which we have epeciol reference to in these remarks.
